New types of crime do not spare even famous celebrities. Recently, Clone's Kang Won-rae and actor Lim Hyung-jun each warned about being victims of scams and voice phishing.
On the 19th, Kang Won-rae said, "I was scammed. Everyone be careful," and shared a conversation he had with a seller.
According to the disclosed content, Kang Won-rae deposited 100,000 won for a product, but the seller demanded an additional payment of 800 won, stating, "It’s a Naver safe payment account, so you must deposit the product price and the fee together for confirmation."
Feeling something was off, Kang Won-rae said, "If you refund the 100,000 won, I will deposit it again," but the seller insisted, "It’s a Naver safe transaction account, so you must deposit the fee accurately for confirmation. If it’s not confirmed, refunds or cancellations are not possible." In response, Kang Won-rae remarked, "Are you scamming me for 100,000 won? Is it worth all this trouble just to take 100,000 won? Still, I live hard. Don’t do this kind of thing in the future and live healthily," delivering a sharp rebuke.
Actor Lim Hyung-jun caught attention with his cool response after receiving a voice phishing text.
Recently, Lim Hyung-jun posted on his SNS, "I received a text like this too... What’s with the trembling after receiving the text?" along with a screenshot of the message.
According to the disclosed content, the voice phishing scammer texted Lim Hyung-jun, "Dad, I left my phone for repair and sent a message with a temporary number. Did you get the text?" and asked, "Since I can’t verify it because my phone is being repaired, I’ll connect to your phone to apply for insurance. Is that possible now?"
In response, Lim Hyung-jun asked, "Where are you? Didn’t you go to school?" The scammer replied, "I just went out to drop off my phone. Is it okay?" Lim Hyung-jun added, "Voice phishing, spam texts, smishing texts," urging caution.
Kang Won-rae debuted in 1996 as part of the group Clone and enjoyed top-tier popularity. He was diagnosed with lower body paralysis after a motorcycle accident in 2000. He later married Kim Song and has a son named Kang Seon.
Lim Hyung-jun debuted in 1999 with the play 'Subway Line 1' and gained love for his comedic acting in the 'Family's Glory' film series. He recently showcased his talent in the Disney+ drama 'Casino.'
